CANAAN BALI:
You won’t easily find this boutique unless you are a guest at Katamama, next to Potato Head Beach Club. It’s tucked almost beneath Katamama in a tiny beach-facing row. Owner and designer Emmelyn Gunawan has sourced the (mostly) indigo-themed accessories and fabrics for the hotel. Her shop, which opened mid-year, is a natural extension as a showcase for village-woven wares from Threads of Life in Ubud, plus shibori-dyed fabrics and covered notebooks, tasselled wall hangings, and candles from Republic of Soap in an exclusive blend that contains wild fig and tomato leaves. I want to share my passion for [Indonesian] heritage and tradition,” says Melbourne-educated Gunawan.

REPUBLIC OF SOAP:
Tucked into a small space on Jalan Tangkuban Perahu at Kerobokan (opposite Anika Gym), this shop smells gorgeous. Aside from those heralded soaps, there are hair unguents, shower gels, body lotions and candles in scents such as white tea. All products are created with an ethos of “herbal wisdom”, made from essential oils and essences, and plainly packaged in apothecary-style containers; bundles of small-batch pure vegetable soaps are simply tied with string or wrapped in parchment paper, and combos include wild honey and black tea or river rock and volcanic sand for a real scrub. There is a “soap lab” where you can sometimes see artisans in action, or join a DIY class.

"I walked into Tommy's dressing room this morning, and we both had to kind of not talk about it, because you'd start tearing up," she said, adding that it's the collection she’s most proud of.
